Everybody Reads “Evicted’
Library picks
new community
reading book
Next January, Multnomah
County Library will launch
Everybody Reads 2017, the li-
brary’s 15th annual community
reading project, with Matthew
Desmond’s Evicted: Poverty
and Profit in the American City.
Evicted is a heartbreaking
book that takes us into the poor-
est neighborhoods of Milwau-
kee, Wis. to tell the story of ten-
ants and landlords alike who are
grappling with the circumstanc-
es of eviction.
“Evicted is a wrenching and
candid look into issues that are
so visible in our own commu-
nity,” said Director of Libraries
Vailey Oehlke. “With this selec-
tion, the library and its partners
hope to contribute to the critical
and difficult conversations hap-
pening in our community around
poverty, affordable housing and
homelessness.”
Desmond is also the author of
the award-winning book On the
Fireline, coauthor of two books
on race, and editor of a collec-
tion of studies on severe depri-
vation in America.
The library’s “Everybody
Reads” program encourages a
shared reading experience and
community discussions will fol-
low in February where partici-
pants can learn from each other
and promote greater understand-
ing.
Extra copies of the books
will be available in January at
all neighborhood libraries, and
e-books will be downloadable
from the library catalog, thanks
to the generous support of The
Library Foundation. Readers are
encouraged to share extra cop-
ies with friends, coworkers and
neighbors.
